Getting aroundPublic Transit
Metro Vancouver is served by TransLinkís system of buses, commuter railway, and automated rapid transit rail lines.
Waterfront Station, located in Downtown Vancouver, is the major hub for TransLink services. From here, within 5-minutes, you will be able to walk to the Vancouver Convention Centre and a cluster of multiple WorldMUN Village Hotels including the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel and the Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Vancouver.

SkyTrain: Automated Rapid TransitSkyTrain is the world's longest computer-driven rapid transit rail system and includes the Expo, Millennium and Canada Lines which run trains every 2-3 minutes. The Canada Line connects Downtown Vancouver with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and the nearby municipality of Richmond in just 25-minutes.

SeaBusThe SeaBus provides passenger ferry service from Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Crossing Burrard Inlet between the two terminals takes 12 minutes. Both terminals provide connections to other transit services.

Public BusesAn extensive and frequent network of bus services operate throughout the region. Buses in the City of Vancouver run every 7-15 minutes during peak and mid-day hours.

For travel to the University of British Columbia campus in West Point Grey, take any bus that states "UBC" as its final destination. In Vancouver, bus routes #4, #9, #17, #25, #41, #43, #44, #49, #84, #99 B-Line, #258 and #480 will all take you to UBC. For the quickest routes to campus from Downtown Vancouver, take the #44 (only during mid-day and peak hours) or the #99 "UBC" B-Line rapid express (board across the street from Broadway-City Hall Station after getting off the Canada Line).
